Employment Based PERM Process
The PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) process is a crucial step for foreign nationals seeking permanent residency in the U.S. through employment. It is designed to protect U.S. workers by ensuring that there are no qualified U.S. citizens or residents available to fill the position offered to a foreign national. The process is complex and requires careful attention to detail, and our firm is here to guide both employers and employees through every stage.
-
Labor Certification:
The first step in the PERM process is obtaining a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). This certification verifies that the employer has made a good-faith effort to hire a U.S. worker for the position and that employing a foreign national will not negatively impact the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers. Our firm assists in crafting a precise job description, ensuring compliance with DOL regulations, and submitting the required documentation. -
Prevailing Wage Determination:
Before filing a PERM application, the employer must obtain a prevailing wage determination from the DOL. This ensures that the foreign worker will be paid the same as a U.S. worker in the same position and geographic area. We guide employers in requesting and securing this determination, ensuring that the offered wage meets or exceeds the DOL’s requirements. -
Recruitment Process:
The employer must conduct a thorough recruitment process to demonstrate that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position. This involves advertising the job in various venues, including newspapers, online job boards, and professional journals. Our firm assists in managing this recruitment effort, documenting all steps to ensure full compliance with PERM regulations, and preparing for any potential audits. -
Filing the ETA Form 9089:
Once the recruitment process is complete and no qualified U.S. workers have been identified, the employer can file the ETA Form 9089. This form is the official application for permanent labor certification. We ensure that this form is accurately completed and submitted, including all required documentation, to avoid any delays or denials.

The PERM process is detailed and often time-consuming, but our expertise ensures that your application is handled with precision and efficiency. We work closely with both employers and foreign nationals to navigate the complexities of this process, helping to secure the necessary approvals for permanent residency.
